The room temperature was impossible to regulate and the room stayed at almost 25 degrees all night. We got zero sleep. And we were barely out of bed in the morning when I got a text asking if I’d like to tip the staff?…. Definitely won’t be coming back here.

The hotel was clean and the staff friendly. Had to move rooms after the first night as I have a bad back and our bed was way too soft. They were great in giving us another room. The coffee pods did not match the coffee pots so made a mess every time you made a coffee.
